Things we dont know and know

“ The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law. (Deuteronomy 29:29)

Today I attended a church, the young pastor of the church closed the service with the saying:

"We ought to be humble, for we know not the things we do not know."

True enough. So often we become arrogant when we learn about something, and think that "Ah ha! So that is it!", that we know all the things we need to know. But truly, if we are honest to ourselves, we will realize that we do not really know much. What we really know, is the surface and shallow part of the whole universe only.

If anyone supposes that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know... (1 Corinthians 8:2)

I suppose that one of the things that "ought to know", is that we know too little of things we ought to know, right?

On the other hand, I should say, there are things we are sure to know. "Things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law".

We may not know how God had created the universe, but we know for sure He created it with such wisdom, and revealing to us His divinity and greatness, that man are without excuse that they do really know Him.
We may not know how God can be triune, that is at the same time three and One, but we know that such is the way He is.
We may not know how God's predestination works with man's free will, but we know that both are equally true, and such belief assure us of our eternal son-ship in Him.
We may not know how Jesus Christ's divine and human nature unite in one person, but we know that He truly died and lived again, and still living, praying for us each day.
We may not know how Holy Spirit works in our heart, regenerate us, but we know for sure that He changes us, renewing and conforming us everyday to the likeness of God.
We may not know how, and when, our Lord shall come again, but we know with certainty that He will surely come, and bring us together with Him in eternal.

So much that we do not know, and yet, we can know much, and with confident, sufficiency, clearly, of things that He revealed to us, through both the nature and Scripture, that we may "observe all the words of His law" unto salvation. And ultimately, bring glory to Him, which is unto Him forever.
